My partner's mom liked my Miele Aquarius so much that she bought herself one. Now that she has a new vacuum, she finally caved in and gave me her Electrolux. She was the original owner and purchased it new in early 1988. I'm glad it is now part of my Electrolux collection.

I stopped at a yardsale today and I can't believe I got this for only $20. I was shocked when the owner told me the price. It looks like new and runs great. I just need to clean it up a bit. Apparently the man's wife hated this vacuum and really wanted to just get rid of it.

Pete: Luckily, I didn't have to spend big money for that hose. A collector friend of mine had an extra one so he sent it to me. :-)

I found one... I got the hose and the dusting brush that this vacuum was missing! I love when a vacuum gets completed. :-)

Louvac: You are absolutely right. I said "screw it" at one point myself last night too! I figured that Eureka was probably doomed from the beginning anyways, so why worry about it. The Electrolux I am taking to her house tonight is one that I had in my collection that I am not really attached...

I talked to her again and she decided not to take the Filter Queen. She remembered that I had brought it over to her house just to vacuum a few months back and she didn't really like it. She just didn't want to tell me she didn't like it. She was trying to be nice. (I take different vacuums to...

So a few years back my sister bought a basic Eureka Model 6982-A canister vacuum. Nothing really fancy about it, but it was a good vacuum. I say "was" because she asked me to take it home this evening and clean it out for her. I was in the process of taking it apart and literally plastic pieces...

Hey Sandy - I'm not trying to talk badly about Tristar or Compact. I think they are wonderful machines and I have two of them. The only problem I have always found is that the bags are paper thin and regardless of the air-flow the bags clog very quickly. I dunno it's just from personal...

Filter Queens are good vacuums, but so are Tristar. Have you taken a look at the differences between the attachments on the Filter Queen vs. the Tristar? Tristar are by far much more user friendly than Filter Queen when it comes to attachments. The power nozzle cleans a lot better too. The only...

Sounds like you got a good deal. The Tuesday Morning store here in Roanoke, VA is selling those for $100 and I have been thinking about getting one. I think the ones at this store are reconditioned. I'm not sure.

That is a replica of the Diamond Jubilee, Marquis, or Ultralux body style. The Silverado style is a slightly different, older design.

I'm a Gemini too! Too bad Miele doesn't make a vac called the Gemini...LOL

Brad how much did this model cost new on average 3 years ago?

Jet Engine Exhaust It's fun to point the vacuum at kittys to see their reaction! ;-)

I agree about the power nozzle connection. The whole design in my opinion was not thought out very well.

Does anyone have a beige hose to match this vacuum? If so, I would be very appreciative. Thanks! :-)

The power nozzle is decent and grooms the carpet nicely...

It's called a High Performance (HP) but I'm not sure why. There is NOTHING high performance about it. Have you seen those green GE canisters at Walmart? This one is the same thing basically only a different color.

New Eureka Vacuum This is the newest model Eureka I have. My partner brought it home and surprised me one day.

OOPS - My grammar was a little off in that last post! LOL It's too early in the morning and I haven't had my caffeine yet. -Logan
